Make Turing Ignore Text Input

[XXX111]

I have a program that uses pictures to simulate clicking on buttons. When the program is being run, if the keyboard is pressed nothing appears to happen but later when the user is required to type something the text that was typed earlier appears. Is there any way to tell turing to ignore text input at the beginning and only allow it for a certain procedure? Thanks

post some of your code.

I'd rather not because it's very long and I don't want people to copy it, I just want to make turing ignore text regardless of my code

there is, you should set your program to graphics mode. then when you want the users text you can get it.

it is already set to graphics mode, thanks for all of the help but I think I found the solution, I used the turing help "flush" program to remove any characters that the user types right before they are supposed to type something

or use setscreen("noecho")?
